Many people talk about how awesome Rogue Squadron was, and how it badly needs a current Gen remake, but why aren't those people looking at Project Sylpheed? If you like the arcade space shootemup action, you can't beat Project Sylpheed for playability. Furthermore, it as an engaging, if formulaic, story that is suited to those with a taste for Japanese Animation. Watch the vid. Give it a thumbs up :)</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01548596657890418297noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566029734942082506.post-42886356212537647752012-05-16T14:50:00.000-07:002012-05-16T14:50:41.836-07:00Armored Core 4<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='580' height='360' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z9ov3z43Yqw?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0' /></div><br />Yes, yes.. I know Armored Core 4 is fucking old now. That's the point, god dammit! Gaming on a budget. So yeah, Armored Core 4 is a walking tank TPS action game, with possibly the deepest levels of customisation of any game in the genre - not that there are a wealth of games <b>in</b> the genre, obviously, which no doubt is all the more reason to pull out a $10 bill as you are walking past the bargain bin. The sequel, Armored Core 5 is recently released, and picking up #4 is a low-risk way of getting a taste for the gameplay. I won't lie - the learning curve is kind of steep, and definitely not for everyone, which is why I would recommend grabbing this over #5, at least to begin with.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01548596657890418297noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566029734942082506.post-22034923862471657782012-05-10T06:44:00.001-07:002012-05-10T06:44:49.988-07:00FarCry 2 video review<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='580' height='360' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/5eqMX7h1Snk?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0' /></div><br />Farcry 2 video review.

One of our favourite would-be movies to talk about a potential cast for is Gears of War.<br /><br />First and foremost, we need to have actors that at least <i>resemble</i>&nbsp;the characters in question, taking into account height, weight and body type - as well as obviously having some sort of similar facial structure. Sometimes, we will be 100% serious, and other times, not so much. This has had varied results, from suggestions like <a href="http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd321/kungfucolin/Anthony-Anderson2_0.jpg" target="_blank">Anthony Anderson</a> as the Cole Train all the way to <a href="http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd321/kungfucolin/henryrollins.jpg" target="_blank">Henry Rollins</a>&nbsp;as Sergeant Hoffman.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oFqt1bP0owE/T6Y0zn-YfqI/AAAAAAAAAQM/mkl6AVO7zjE/s1600/Acole.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oFqt1bP0owE/T6Y0zn-YfqI/AAAAAAAAAQM/mkl6AVO7zjE/s200/Acole.jpg" width="200" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DiMw-AWIQog/T6Y08dS1mVI/AAAAAAAAAQU/8ZSzAvi3WmA/s1600/hoffman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DiMw-AWIQog/T6Y08dS1mVI/AAAAAAAAAQU/8ZSzAvi3WmA/s200/hoffman.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><br />Our chosen cast is far from final, and indeed some of these choices are based on the simple fact that we each would probably prefer someone different, but with these particular choices, we don't disagree with each other quite so vehemently.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br />Marcus Fenix:<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mfp2bIrARQE/T6Y1TdpvxdI/AAAAAAAAAQc/2o4FyKArgrY/s1600/marcus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mfp2bIrARQE/T6Y1TdpvxdI/AAAAAAAAAQc/2o4FyKArgrY/s400/marcus.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Really an obvious choice, when you think about it.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Choosing who to play Marcus was easily the hardest decision either of us had ever made. John Travolta? No, too old, too fat. Dominic Purcell? Too unknown. Christopher Lambert? Oh god, even worse. Why not Tom Jane, yeah that could work, maybe - how about Sylvester Stallone. Same problem, and same problem again for Kurt Russell, Tom Berenger.. It seemed like all of our hard assed heroes were just too fucking ancient. Even Bruce Willis is over the hill, but Marcus has to be at least a little bit older, right? Gives him credibility. That was of course, until we considerd Adam Baldwin. Yes, it's true that he's not exactly a youngster himself, however - he is a credible, legitimate badass, who somehow looks 35 years old at age 50+. How does he manage this? We do not know, and more importantly perhaps, <i>we do not care</i>. He's perfect.<br /><br />Dominic Santiago:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PzJ4BuzvxT4/T6Y3hZDFtnI/AAAAAAAAAQk/yPcWV1bwccM/s1600/dom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PzJ4BuzvxT4/T6Y3hZDFtnI/AAAAAAAAAQk/yPcWV1bwccM/s400/dom.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">He's been in precisely the right amount of failed movies to play a support role.</td></tr></tbody></table>Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Why the hell not? Give him a soul patch, a Latino accent, and we're good to go. He is a huge guy, obviously (in fact one of the major factors in choosing any of the cast was the fact that they needed to be brawny bastards). True, his ethnicity isn't an exact match, but finding a massive Latino guy who is high enough profile to play the second biggest character in the series, yet low enough profile that he doesn't hog the damn camera was a challenging proposition.<br /><br />Damon Baird:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-429hqkjA7Nc/T6Y5dUqDBUI/AAAAAAAAAQs/mSuCbYbJtqE/s1600/baird.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-429hqkjA7Nc/T6Y5dUqDBUI/AAAAAAAAAQs/mSuCbYbJtqE/s400/baird.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Because killing genocidal monsters is serious fucking business.</td></tr></tbody></table>Karl "Eomer" Urban. For me, is a pretty clear choice. The counterpoint is that of course Baird is, for the most part, the comic relief of the cast. Cole's wild character juxtaposed against Baird's dry commentary is where the best laughs come from in the game series, and this is Josh's biggest problem with this pick. That being said, I actually think his seriously serious tone might actually deliver some <i>unintentional </i>comedy. The very best kind.<br /><br />Augustus Cole "Train"<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XWm01dT_Nfg/T6Y7jKD3mVI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/-gUlbU5K13M/s1600/cole.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XWm01dT_Nfg/T6Y7jKD3mVI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/-gUlbU5K13M/s400/cole.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Denying him this role would be an egregious crime in the highest degree.</td></tr></tbody></table>Lester Speight actually does the voice acting for Cole in the games, and he is also an experienced supporting actor of modest success. Furthermore, <i>he is something like 200 kilos worth of muscle</i>. If this movie gets made, and they <b>don't</b> include him - someone needs to be fired.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0RVfgV4b_t4/T6Y8loOwL5I/AAAAAAAAAQ8/yX369jQNaeI/s1600/Gowtroops-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="294" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0RVfgV4b_t4/T6Y8loOwL5I/AAAAAAAAAQ8/yX369jQNaeI/s400/Gowtroops-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This looks shopped.
